Clinical usefulness of wave intensity analysis

Abstract: Wave intensity (WI) is a hemodynamic index, which can evaluate the working condition of the heart interacting with the arterial system. It can be defined at any site in the circulatory system and provides a great deal of information. However, we need simultaneous measurements of blood pressure and velocity to obtain wave intensity, which has limited the clinical application of wave intensity, in spite of its potential. To expand the application of wave intensity in the clinical setting, we developed a real-tim… Show more

“…The characteristics of such a wave traveling through an elastic tube are nicely demonstrated in this issue by Jiun-Jr Wang and co-workers [22]. The wave intensity theory has already ignited a series of clinical studies and resulted in a device for analyzing the interaction between the cardiac and arterial system which is discussed by Motoaki Sugawara [14].…”

“…[40] In 2001 we first studied 31 patients suffering from end stage DCM [41] to assess circulatory reserves by utilizing a simple tilting test moving patients from supine to upright position. When DCM patients moved from supine to upright position, the filling of the venous bed was reduced (the overdistended jugular vein was collapsed) and filling of the heart chambers was therefore also reduced.…”
